I'm in the process of building a single speed fixed gear bike using an aluminium road bike frame. The frame has the now common place short vertical dropouts so there is no fore and aft adjustment on the wheel position in order to get the correct chain tension. I've been told that I will need to fit a chain tensioner and I've found a number for sale on ebay but I wanted to hear from all you guys on what you think is the best type and if they work properly on a fixed as opposed to a single freewheel. I don't suppose that it will make much difference but I'll be running a 42 x 15 set-up with an option to go to 39 x 15.
I'll look forward to the floods of replies!!
